HIV RNA & HIB 4th generation tests
Hi,
I was involved in a risky heterosexual encounter. I'm male living in Florida. I'm not sure how risky my encounter was! I did have unprotected sex with a random girl "Unknown Status".
My questions are about the accuracy of HIV tests and what should I do next.
Took the HIV RNA test after 10 days and the result was negative.
Took the 4th generation test after 29 days and the result was negative.
Should I be worried, Is it really required to retest after 3 months. If yes what my chances are? Should I avoid any sexual encounters with my wife?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Thank you! So I can say the test is conclusive? And I can safely have sex with my wife.
I would like to add that in my encounter there was no ejaculation and no anal.
